Mr. Speaker, the Auditor General's review that commenced in March 2002 was referred to her by the government to look into the program.
I would like to quote from a letter from the member of Parliament for Red Deer on December 12, 2001, to the minister at the time, Mr. Gagliano, asking for support for a program in his riding at that time. Six months before the member said there was no program, he wrote to the minister.
